In thinking about a fresh start, peppered with a hint of anticipatory excitement, spring flowers in all their nascent glory come to mind. And as blooming as ever, actor Sonam Kapoor adorns our cover(s). This moment takes me back to 10 years ago, when we first started working together. It has been quite the journey, featuring ups, downs, bumpins, and treasured moments of mutual admiration. That’s why, as I eagerly embarked on this expedition with BRIDES TODAY, she was my only choice for a companion. For the very first time, Sonam appears with her favourite couturiers Tamara Ralph and Michael Russo on the cover of an Indian publication. And in strong contrast to the subtle sensibilities of the designer duo lies the flamboyant manner of Anamika Khanna in our second…
Q: What does spring-summer 2018 have in store for brides? This year is all about enhancing your natural texture and playing around with it. Bendy, undone waves on mid-length hair is still a hit. In terms of hair colour, unicorn hair is becoming more mainstream. One can also try pearl and grey tones since they work especially well with Indian skin tones. Q: What steps should a bride follow to ensure she has healthy locks on D-day? For voluminous, soft hair, regularly wash your hair with a volume-enhancing shampoo and conditioner, followed by a texturising spray. You should also use a hair serum often to make sure you have all the moisture locked in. Q: Is there a home remedy you swear by to keep your mane in top shape? Apart from oiling…
Q: What is the ideal location for your dream wedding? Probably Italy, Portofino. That would be beautiful. Q: What will the décor be like? Flowers everywhere! Very neutral, nothing in-your-face or gaudy. I think the backdrop would speak for itself. Q: What kind of food would you like at your wedding?

I always wanted a big princess dress. It has to have a big train and I definitely want a veil. I want a typical, classic look. Q: What will the jewellery and accessories be like? I’d like to keep it simple. Diamonds are a girl’s best…
Q: What would be the location for an ideal wedding? I would love to elope to a beach for a quiet affair. A freshwater beach with a beautiful sunset offers a magnificent backdrop for photos and a terrace garden overlooking the beach is perfect for an intimate ceremony. Q: What would the décor be like? According to me, the décor should reflect the style of the bride and groom. I would prefer a soothing ambiance with pastel colours like pinks and blues, even creams and ivory spring to mind. The main elements for the décor can be blooming floral arrangements, crystal chandeliers, and flowing drapes of pastel shades. Q: What kind of food should be served? Should it be a sit-down or a buffet? It should be a combination of sit-down…
